Donald Trump is considering the military option against Iran – Liberation

The pressure rises from a notch. Donald Trump said on Wednesday April 9 that a Military action against Iran was « quite » possible and that it remained « Very little time » To achieve an agreement on the question of nuclear. « If we have to use force, we will use strength »told the American president to journalists. « Israel will obviously be very involved, he will be the leader »he added to the White House.

This threat occurs a few days of discussions which must be held on Saturday in the Sultanate of Oman, and in which the American emissary will participate for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, as well as the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi.

Western countries, the United States in mind, have been suspecting Tehran for decades to want to have nuclear weapons. Iran rejects these allegations and affirms that its activities in nuclear are limited to civil ends.

In March, Donald Trump sent a letter to Iran calling for negotiations, with a view to replacing the previous international nuclear agreement, which has become a decu since Washington retired in 2018. But he also threatened to bomb Iran in the event of diplomacy failure and taken additional sanctions against the Iranian oil sector.

During his first mandate, Donald Trump retired with a crash from the nuclear agreement which offered Iran a reduction in international sanctions in exchange for a drastic limitation of his nuclear program, under the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Alongside the Israeli Prime Minister, Benyamin Netanyahu, supporter of a very hard line, the American president created the surprise by announcing on Monday that Washington led discussions « Direct » With Tehran, while the two countries have had no diplomatic relations for forty-five years. After this announcement, Benyamin Netanyahu judged « inevitable » The military option against Iran if these discussions drag. For its part, Iran said it was ready to discuss but rejects any direct dialogue under threat and pressure.
